H2O (two molecules of hydrogen and a single molecule of oxygen) is not merely the scientific nomenclature of the most precious liquid on our planet called ‘Water’, but it is also quintessentially termed as ‘Life’ as well as ‘Lifeblood’ of a living being, especially in the human habitat (hamlet/village/region/nation), for survival along with a plethora of other needs.

That’s why, most of the human civilizations have historically and geographically got carved out on the banks of rivers, rivulets, brooks or streams or a perennial water resource.

Be it the ancient Roman Civilization on river Tiber, Mesopotamian on the rivers of Tigris and Euphrates, Egyptian along the lower reaches of the Nile river, Hwang Ho Valley Civilization of China or our own Indus Valley or Gangetic Valley Civilizations of ancient Dravidian and Aryan (Vedic) cultures.
